Just a word of warning.
When I got my fan controller, I tried to use a fan cable splitter but the fans ran slower. You may want to give each fan it's own channel so get a fan controller (or 2) that has enough for all the fans in your case.

Its most likely that your fan controller simply can't handle the power output that those fans need. You need to check the max power output of the controller and see how much the fans need in comparison.

After spending much time finding a 1/8" drill bit, I started drilling out the rivets. Due to the fact that it was my first time, some rivets were drilled diagonally, thus enlarging the holes in the case, shouldn't be noticeable though.

Drill bit I used

Camera ran out of betteries, but it isn't all that exciting anyways.
Now to decide if I should cut the holes before/after I paint...Edited by xHassassin - 6/14/08 at 11:34am

Yeah, I am for the top, but since no one's going to see the bottom, I planned on cutting some holes there and putting like 1USD fan grills there.
Though now that I see that hole saws are 30USD+, I may reconsider that...

Yeah, would using a 4inch drill damage my air flow by a lot? Seeing as the 4.5inch drill is almost 2x the 4 inch at Home Depot.
This project is going to go along at a really slow pace, still have yet to find a store that sells dupli-color paint...
